Believe me, not that high-school is not important, but really- don't sweat the small stuff.

To answer your question- just keep doing problems. If you're looking in the back of the book for the answer before you're done all of your work, you're doing it wrong. If you are done all of your homework and getting every single question right while doing the correct work, then ask for more homework! With mathematics (especially calc), that's the only real way to learn and improve.

It seems that a lot of high-schoolers (my sister just graduated, so there's my one source) are so uptight about getting wrong answers. If you ask me, there's no better way to learn something than to get it wrong, work through the problem, figure out why you got it wrong, and never make the mistake again. That's what homework is for.
